Prayer request

I am pretty sure that the only people who read this blog are family and a few family friends, so you people most likely already know this. But just in case you don't, or if you happen to stumble across this blog in the tomorrow or in the next few days, I have a request of you.
Tomorrow, September 16th, my sweet niece Cadence is having heart surgery. If you do not know Cadence's story, it is my pleasure and honor to introduce you to her...
This, is Cadence. Precious, breath-of-Heaven, Cadence.



















That is a picture on her first birthday, August 26th 2008. Such a wonderful day!!!
This sweet baby was born at 26 weeks gestation. She weighed 1 lb, 11 oz at birth. One pound. She is an absolute miracle baby. Those of us who know Jesus have known that all along, and medical professionals have confirmed it =-)
Here is a picture from her earlier, NICU days:














Sweet, sweet baby. This picture was taken when Cadence was getting ready for her first heart surgery, at 4 days old.

We are so grateful for the mercy that God has shown Cadence and our family. He has seen Cadence through many trials, and we trust that her surgery tomorrow will be no different. God has had His hand on this precious life from the very beginning...after all, her middle name is Malulani, meaning "Under Heavenly protection". Whenever I am tempted to doubt the goodness of Christ, I remember Cadence, and all that He has done.
If you would like to know more about her story, "the Rowan blog" is linked on the right side of my blog.
In the mean time, please say a prayer for my adorable niece, and for her amazing parents.
Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow.
Blessings and love,
Kendra

Amen to that! We've been praying and will continue to do so.
